Metis, it's fine that you didn't know. Ernests didn't participate in the tie so there was no reason to go see it anyway Well, okay, Karlis Lejnieks would have been a reason but he fell and broke his nose during practice on Thursday or Friday so he had to be taken to the hospital

The NY Times had an article about Davis Cup and Andy's participation. (Also about Simon )

Quote:

But despite all those ranking points he will soon have to start defending , the 28-year-old Roddick still made the trip to Chile to be part of Courier’s inaugural voyage as captain.

“Andy is a very giving individual, he missed the team camaraderie, the team meals,” said his coach, Larry Stefanki. “It’s not going to be easy, nothing is ever easy, but it’s something he wants to do, and it’s going to make him happy.”
